An imposing estate. A cursed bloodline. And secrets that refuse to die.
When I'm sent to Blackmoor Manor, I expect cold halls and colder company.
I didn't expect them.
The stepuncle who watches me like he already owns me.
The stepcousin whose charm cuts as sharp as his lies.
And the constant feeling that someone—or something—is watching me.
There are doors I'm told never to open.
Rooms that weren't meant to be found.
Whispers behind the walls, and something twisted beneath the surface of this place—and these men.
But one of them truly sees me.
And I think I was meant to save him.
Book two in the Step Duet (readable as a standalone) A dark gothic romance with multiple forbidden partners, but only one ends up with the FMC.
Tropes:
✔️ Love Triangle
✔️ Billionaire
✔️ Alpha Hero
✔️ Mystery
✔️ Moral Ambiguity
✔️ Forced Proximity
✔️ Age Gap
✔️ MFM scene (but there is a final HEA with one man only)
If Arcadia gave you a dreamy, hot, French summer escape... Blackmoor is the darker, more twisted twin. The house still makes you want to visit, but this time, you're not sure you'd make it out.
